short interest is thought to have been some
what increased. The opening was firm, first
prices being stdL per cent. above last even

recorded in the early trading but the list
soon gave way under the ham ering of bears
and the withdrawal OF European purchasers,
Union Pacific and Missouri Pacific being the
heaviest sufferers. The market raihed ate
stocks were at the highest OF tie dav. Prices
then again yielded, although trading was de-
void of interest. In the afternoon there was
more activity and the decline gathered force.

No Monopoly in the Poultry Business.

Monopoly may reach it's graspine
hands and secure to itself the exclusive
control of all the telegraph lines in the
United States, also of the means of
transportation and the manufacture Of
certain articles. 1t may seize the most
fashionable families Of short horns
elevate the 1oadsters above the reach
of the masses, and place fictitious prices
upon u sheep and swine, but it can.
not harm III poultry interests. The
rapid multiplication of stock being 50
easy, and within the reach of all, the
humblest individual in the land can
devote his time to the pursuit of poul
try raising without the fear of being
crushed. 1t is the only department Of
breeding that permits knowledge and
science to triumph over wealth and
possession. Let monopoly seize the
best focks in the world, and patient
industry and careful breeding on the
part of the most obscure devotees of
poultry in a short time break down
the walls of monopoly and open the
avenues of the poultry business to all.
The only monopoly that can be exer-
cised in the poultry business is brains,
he who diligently endeavors to secure
trade and control by being enabled to
improve his stock and make it supe-
rior to that of others, will reap an
honest reward through his own exer-
tons and not through the power Of
capital. All the capital in the world
cannot assist the inexperienced breeder
to control the market for pure breeds.
Excellence is not confined to any
locality it does not remain when once
attained, except by continued and per-
sistent application of all the principles
of breeding to the object sought and
desired. Skill, perseverance, careful
mating and selection are the levers
that carry the breeder to the front
and place him prominently as one who
understands his calling and possesses
that which he claims. One Of the adj
vantages Of poultry raising is thai
every man, woman and child has the
same opportunity and privileges alike;
There is no royal road to success, and
there is no aid that can be conferred
by anyone. The foundations Of sue
cess rest upon application and knowI'
edge, and neither age, sex, color or
previous condition are obstacles to
the undertaking.
L. o. B., Auburn, N. c.. writes
Will you be so kind as to give me
the address of a breeder of white

In reply would say that you can get
them from J. E. Frost, Manmouth'
